Take a bite out of the competition or savor the sweet taste of success — two local businesses let you choose for the NCAA Sweet 16 game between the Cards and the Cats.

The Bakery at Sullivan will offer cupcakes decorated in Kentucky blue for the Wildcats as well as cupcakes iced in Cardinal red for the University of Louisville.

The Bakery will keep track of which color sells more as an unofficial prediction of who will win Friday night’s match-up in Indianapolis. The cupcakes cost $1.75 each.

Open 6:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday, The Bakery is located at 3100 Bardstown Road. Information: (502) 452-1210 or www.sullivan.edu/bakery.

The Bristol Bar & Grille East also is getting in on the game.

Kentucky fans — or Cardinal fans who want to chew up the competition — can order fried Wildcat-fish with “Big Blue” cheese coleslaw and spicy tartar sauce ($19). Or, on the University of Louisville side, the option is blackened Redfish with Weisenberger grits and spicy lobster “Cardinal” sauce and side salad ($22).
